BBC announces return of Play School after 38-year break
The BBC has announced plans to bring back the children's programme Play School following a 38-year absence.
Digital revamp and new content
The show will be updated for the digital age and include material for the new CBeebies Parenting YouTube channel. This companion content aims to provide practical play ideas and expert guidance for parents and carers.
Response to online content concerns
The decision comes amid complaints about low-quality and addictive content available online for children. Members of Parliament are currently examining these issues within the culture, media and sport select committee.
Global market strategy
This move supports the corporation's search for standout brands that can compete in the global children's television market. The launch also coincides with a new parenting promise from the broadcaster.
